We have been interested to see how NZ handles its coins. They have $2, $1, $0.50, $0.20, and $0.10. No nickels, no pennies. The rule in stores if not done on credit is to round up or down, with the .05 going to the customer by rounding down. Sooo nice not to be dealing with cents. Makes the change pocket much lighter.
Their bills are coloured, happily, as I have a much easier time dealing with coloured different bills than with the US all-the-same colour bills. Also slightly different sizes, not so pronounced as the UK size differences. Some good pictures - the Queen makes it onto the $20, with a bird- Karearea - on the back, but there is also Sir Edmund Hillary ($5), with a penguin on the back, Kate Sheppard (suffragette movement - thanks, Lynda) and ducks on the $10, and a number of others on different denominations.
